ER Superstitions

I always thought it was funny that doctors would have superstitions, mainly because it seems opposite of what they're taught in medical school about science and logic. However, I now believe in superstitions.  There are two in particular.

1. Never say it's slow.
The second you say it is slow 25 people show up in the waiting room along with 3 ambulances, one of which is a trauma. Also if you're the perpetrator and caught....guess who has new patients.
2. Never say a frequent flyer's name out loud.
The minute you say a regular's name they come in. Most likely asking for diluadid. If you say their name they're yours to deal with. And no one wants that.

Without fail if either of these things are mentioned you get the result. Which came make your day a hell of a lot more painful.
